Version 0.15: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.


The Gift Timeout is the period during which you cannot receive any more gifts from your current god. It begins the turn you receive a gift, and decreases every time you gain piety (this piety is only applied toward ending the gift timeout). The exact duration of this period varies from god to god. Missile gifts have a lower timeout.

The only way to speed up the Gift Timeout period is to increase the rate at which you gain piety. Wearing an amulet of faith will speed it up significantly, but be aware of the negative consequences before doing so.

Gods

Gods which grant gifts based on the Gift Timeout method include:

History

  • Prior to 0.15, Nemelex Xobeh gifted various types of decks, not just those of war and escape.
  • Prior to 0.14, Nemelex Xobeh could gift decks of dungeons and the types of gifted decks were dependent on the types of sacrificed items. Yredelemnul gifted freezing wraiths instead of vampires.
  • Prior to 0.13, Yredelemnul could gift rotting hulks.
  • Prior to 0.12, Vehumet gifted spellbooks.
